Given the information on the back of one of your cards my best guess is that these were made around 1930. One card mentions Riesersee and the upcoming olympics. Germany won a Bronze medal at the 1932 olympics in Lake Placid. One of the players on the team was Georg Strobl. Strobl played for Riesersee. It is possible that Strobl is pictured on your card...I think he may be the first player on the right hand side of the picture. Please check this against the link beloq where Strobl is second from the left in the picture of the 1932 German Olympic team.
